  1. Precious metals and some shares - not all - have served me well over the years, although I only buy those listed on the ASX. My stock pick for 2025 is BHP. IMO it is undervalued, goes ex dividend early March. I have put my money where my mouth is.
  2. In America and Canada, I have observed many houses have roofs made of pine or cypress shingles, which then have bitumen applied for water-proofing. As a recipe for destruction by fire, it would be difficult to find conditions more ideal. While a metal roof might not survive in high risk areas, it does have a much better chance of doing so.
  3. Not worried at all. I'm just hoping something really nasty comes along with a 90% mortality rate, to take out all the anti-vaxxers. Think of the improvement in average IQ that would result.
  4. Please tell me how to go on YouTube, armed with a shelf full of books behind me, a teleprompter, and thick spectacles. When I explain viruses and bacteria are actually nano-chips coated onto every device sold with a Microsoft OS, I am sure I can get a million subscribers.
  5. You forgot the cigars that are used to blow smoke rings.
  6. Wow, Bangkok is expensive. 2-3K is all I have ever needed for a night out in Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai, and that includes someone to love me long time. Mind you, that was about 10 years ago. Ask BMT, he is au fait with the current COP.
  7. Don't come to Chiang Rai, it's brass monkeys' weather. Stay in Bangkok with the wimps. Serious advice - don't get legless, and don't carry too much cash. 2-3K baht is all you should need for a night on the town.
  8. Another example of American insanity. Insurers would never get away with that in Australia, the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission ( ACCC ) would drag them into court, and crucify them. Oh wait, the ACCC was founded by one of those nasty leftist governments.
  9. Anyone who rebuilds in the area will do so at their own risk. Insurance companies won't insure the properties.
  10. OP, learn to love it. Your finger pressure on the trigger determines the water pressure you get. Gently, a slow flow. More, you can give yourself a free enema if you so wish. You will learn how to point the nozzle in the correct direction. Practice makes perfect. So enjoy Thailand's greatest contribution to world civilization.
  11. Which hospital did your endoscopy? Government or private?
  12. The last couple of days, Chiang Rai has had jet aircraft screaming overhead, flying low. What's going on?
  13. It's not just sugar cane, it's crop stubble and vegetation. Every year, villagers start fires in the forests, to stimulate the growth of edible fungi in the rainy season.
  14. You got a bargain , then. Cystoscopy with local anesthesia, Bangkok Hospital, Chiang Mai, - 18,000 baht. Same put to sleep, 65,000 baht.
  15. Lots of Republican losers too, they just haven't realized it yet.
  16. The poster you are responding to did live in Thailand for an indeterminate period, then apparently lost all his money to a Thai woman. No doubt that tends to color his opinions on Thailand, and the rest of the world.
  17. When things went pear-shaped on Trump's last watch, it was always someone else's fault. Expect blaming as one of his most visible attributes in the tears years to come.
  18. Really. You are more intelligent and informed than the 95% of scientists who agree anthropomorphic emissions of carbon dioxide are causing climate change? I know who the ill informed idiot is. No point in asking a microcephaloid to use their head.
  19. The price seems to depend on whether anesthetic is involved. Being put to sleep during the procedure IME hikes the price by about 50,000 baht.
  20. Every village which burns off vegetation and crop stubble has a poo yai, or headman. Gather as many villagers as possible in a public place, and give the poo yai a flogging, explaining the reason. The poo yai will pass down the flogging he got to any villager who burns off from then on.
  21. You have links proving they were Democrat-registered voters?
  22. I can see Trump ordering the military to drop a nuke into a hurricane, not sure what he will do with a wildfire.
